Dinesh Karthik has been in sensational form of late. The ongoing Indian T20 League 2022 has seen him play the role of a finisher to perfection. As a matter of fact, he has been one of the major reasons behind Bangalore's good run in this edition so far.
Karthik has scored 324 runs at an average of 64.8 this season as of now. Moreover, his strike rate has been a whopping 187.28. His performances in this edition enabled him to make a comeback to the Indian team as well. He was named in India's squad for the upcoming five-match T20I series against South Africa. It is to be noted that he last played an international game in 2019.
Thus Shoaib Akhtar had heaps of praises for the keeper-batter. While appreciating his mental toughness, the legendary pacer appreciated the fact that Karthik managed to make a comeback to the national side despite all the setbacks in his personal life. Akhtar also stated that he has followed the Tamil Nadu cricketer's personal life.
“I usually avoid speaking about people’s personal lives. What I want to say here is that he had suffered some setbacks in his personal life, but he came back really well after that. I have followed his personal life and read quite a bit about it. And I really like how he has come back. I would say well done to him. This is what attitude is all about,” said Shoaib Akhtar while speaking to Sportskeeda.
In the meanwhile, the "Rawalpindi Express" sent his best wishes to Karthik as well. He expressed his happiness on seeing the keeper-batter retuning to the Indian team. Further on, Akhtar also mentioned the fact that Karthik was from his era.
“It’s a big thing. Dinesh Karthik is a player from my era. He’s really fit and mentally strong. Good things happen to good people. Great to see the way he has made a comeback to the Indian team. My best wishes are with him,” he added. In the meanwhile, Karthik will next be seen in action during the second qualifier against Rajasthan on Friday. The fans of the Bangalore-based franchise would hope that he continues his good form, and plays well in this crucial game as well.
